Salsa - Restaurant Style
We love salsa with the bright, fresh taste of cilantro and lime!
Salsa is really easy to make at home and our family loves this version better than most restaurants.
It uses quite a few jalapenos, but we remove the seeds from most of them to create a milder salsa.
If you like hot salsa, leave the seeds in and get ready to sweat!
Our recipe for salsa is so delicious and it makes a huge batch.
This yields approximately 3 + quarts.
NOTE: If you prefer a milder salsa, remove all the seeds and veins from the jalapenos before adding them to the food processor.
Ingredients
5 - 28 oz cans whole tomatoes with juice

Add the cilantro and pulse, but don't emulsify.
-
Remove the onions, jalapenos and cilantro from the food processor and place into a very large mixing bowl.
